Bow, Wow, Wow

In 1st grade, we are practicing our rhythms of ta, ti-ti, and rest. We've learned that rhythm is the "way the words go" in a song. Here's a peak at the song we learned called "Bow, Bow, Wow" written in rhythmic notation. The 1st graders are able to clap and read these rhythms:

Next, they learned a partner dance game that goes with the song. They actually switch partners while they sing the song. Here's a video of a class playing and singing. I told them that they do not need me to play. As long as everyone has a partner, they can do this game on their own!
